I am a writer
a journal keeper, committed
to recording my celebrations,
my struggles, my loves & my losses-
It’s the air I breathe.
I am a poet,
of interpreted silences,
a simple voice of common words.
Sometimes serious,
sometimes silly!
I am an artist, an illustrator,
a teacher,
by degree & by nature.
I love the whimsical
and wild things
of children
AND adults who
remember what it means
to be curiously imaginative....
still wild, still free.
I am a woman,
a woman becoming,
a woman whose journey's been to
believe in my own voice and power,
and to become the sky!
